Conversion Map for Field Type and Field Format

I am doing some database documentation, and need to convert the field
type and field formats in my code into terms I can convey to others
(i.e. Date/Short Date, Number/Double, and so forth.)

Any help you can lend would be appreciated...

Sub FieldInventory()

Dim db As Database
Dim tdf As TableDef
Dim fld As Field

Set db = CurrentDb
Set tdf = db.TableDefs("tblProjectWorksheet")

Debug.Print "FieldName" & "/" & "FieldType" & "/" & "FieldSize" & "/" &
"FieldFormat"

For Each fld In tdf.Fields
Debug.Print fld.Name & "/" & fld.Type & "/" & fld.Size & "/" &
Hex$(fld.Attributes)
Next fld

Set tdf = Nothing
Set db = Nothing

End Sub
